This implements the ability to remove a list of inodes from the inode
cache. In order to remove an inode we may have to write out the pages
of an inode, the inode itself and remove the dentries referring to the
node.

Provide generic functionality that can be used by filesystems that have
their own inode caches to also tie into the defragmentation functions
that are made available here.
